YANKS BEATS METS AND SEND A MESSAGE

The Yankees beat the Mets last night and I apologize for the recap delay, sometimes life comes before BYB and we all need to roll with the punches.  I just hope you realize that we try to at least bring it to you straight and at the end of the day, you come to us for a unique opinion and recap that you won't see anywhere else.  That's the plan at least.

The Yankees won last night 4-3 to beat the New York Mets and besides beating the Red Sox on a regular basis...or, besides beating the Tampa Bay Rays, or Buck Showalter's Orioles, I do in fact love to beat the Mets.  No, I don't hate the Mets, but sometimes after a Mets win against the Yanks, Mets fans act like they just won the World Series, yet, they haven't.  I guess we should be flattered as Yankee fans, when Mets fans rag on us, like for example, after Friday's loss, they give this sense of stature, like "Look at us Mets! We're the best!"  I guess you need to admire the true "fan" in that situation...but it's annoying.  Luckily, we won back last night and now all is quite in Metsland...or whatever they call it over there.

The way it broke down was simple; the Yankees didn't do a thing until the 7th inning, then, they woke up.  Raul Ibanez cranked a three run home run to tie up the game quickly and then Eric Chavez came up as a pinch hitter and knocked one out too.  Typical.

We just finished writing THE IMPORTANCE OF ERIC CHAVEZ 2 days ago, and there he goes, he helping the Yanks win it! Love the positive vibes we're bringing. 

As far as our pitching, well, what can I say, Ivan Nova struggled a bit last night. He went 5.2 innings, allowed 5 hits and 3 runs, but the bullpen was great; Clay Rapada got the Win, and Cody Eppley, David Robertson, Boone Logan, Rafael Soriano were great. David Robertson struck out 3 so that goes toward his strikeout total... $3 more that go in the pot for the extra money that Bleeding Yankee Blue is raising for High Socks for Hope. Way to go DRob!

So, overall, I'm thrilled, us "Chickens" beat the Mets.  Man oh man... I hope the "Chickens" make the playoffs this year...and not the Mets... then Frank Francisco can eat it...chicken that is...chicken!
Bock Bock.

Final Score: Yankees 4 - Mets 3.
